This is the wisest and clearest book written on environmental law I have read. It focuses on the root cause of environmental destruction and shows us that by becoming more earth centric within law (i.e. we are not at the centre of the universe but are part of a greater system that includes the earth) we can integrate human behaviour into the ecosystem and therefore have healthier planet and therefore a healthier humanity since we are part of the whole and not separate form the Earths environment.

I have always loved nature. I consider myself a deep thinker and very ethical. Cormac taught me much! I love his applications of systems thinking and I love his heart. This is a must read if you care for the Earth!!!

Earth Jurisprudence is an emerging field of legal philosophy and an exciting area in legal development. Cormac does a fine job of providing a lucid and powerful introduction into this cutting edge philosophy and this work is indispensable for any reader interested in this area. Because Earth Jurisprudence is still in its infancy the reader should not expect a fully developed theory, instead this work builds on the philosophy of Thomas Berry and ushers in a new direction for environmental law and our relationship with the environment.
